   I'm sorry I couldn't post this sooner. I've been out with really bad migrains since last week. No it didn't make anything any easier. Rusty went from my arms to the Wolfs open paws with love. I held him in my arms while he made his journey and was able to kiss him goodbye. The animal hospital I took him to was awesome in that they let me do this.

   The Zoo Crew is now only 9 and misses our Rusty very much. Every one of the kids have shown how much they miss and love him. I wish I could help them understand. Poor Whiskers I think understood more than any of the kids and I think was afraid he was next! It was heart breaking to see this in him and took a few days for him to calm down about this. While Whiskers is 17 yrs. old, he is no where near time for the bridge.

   Thank you so much for your kind words and warm comforting hugs! You all mean so very much to me!

   {{{Rusty RIP, Deb, & Zoo Crew}}} He knew your love in both this world and the next, so sorry for your missing him. Whiskers will grieve also and I hope that he knows Rusty is without pain and waiting for him and his friends at a later time.

    Awwwww.I'm so sorry Deb. But Tansey will be waiting for Rusty! And they'll all be waiting for US someday......

    It's so sweet you had a good vet's office to work with. Especially when it's for goodbyes to our beloved furkin.

    I'm so sorry for your losing Rusty Deb. Your TDK family knows best what you're going thru. He's safe & painfree now & sharing the meadow with some awesome pet friends. I think he'll love all my babies up there.
    I'm sorry also for the migraines & wish I could take your pain away. I'm thankful I don't get them like I use to. Instead my hair falls out. Ugh!
    Many Prayers for Peace to replace the sadness from your loss of Rusty (what a beautiful boy).
    Rest In Peace Rusty.

    Hi Deb. I'm new here and lost my 12-year-old cat just over a month ago to bone marrow failure. Like you, I was able to bring him home and let him pass with me. Being part of that process was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, yet I'm so glad I was able to be there for him as well. A sign of true love. RIP Rusty.

    I'm so sorry, Deb - that is the hardest thing that we are asked to do and it never is easy. Rusty had such a wonderful home, and such a loving family. I hope that your many happy memories of Rusty will help to bring you peace and comfort. Hold the others tight and know that someday you will see Rusty once more.

    The handsome young cat, red-gold against the green grass, leans against the Wolf. They both are watching The Kitten Pack as the small kits try to stalk a large tabby with a long tail.

    Zappo lies, facing the Wolf and Rusty, with a huge grin on his face. That long tail of his moves. And moves a little more.

    He looks into the eyes of the great Wolf.

    "Now!" The kittens leap to the tip of Zappo's tail, but Zappo spins around, huge against the blue sky, roaring. Several small kittens flop backwards, screaming with delight and tumbling through the grass, tiny fat legs churning, trying to get away from their beloved Uncle Zappo.

    "They've been planning that for the past two hours," whispers Rusty, and the Wolf laughs with his friend.

    "It kept them busy and out of other mischief," replies the Wolf, gazing at Zappo and his tribe of small warriors that dance behind and next to the large tabby. Their small voices pipe across the Meadow, and Zappo's rumble of delight as he walks with them comes back to the two friends.

    A pause.

    "I miss them."

    "Of course you do."

    "I will see all of them again."

    "But not too soon, Rusty. We will wait for them, and they will wait to see you."

    The red-gold head nods, and Rusty dozes in the Meadow next to his dearest friend, the dome of heaven arching over all of them.
